+1 from me too.  The other thing is that when you answer to say the 
problem has been solved this goes into the archives meaning that people 
can use Google to answer their own questions rather than having to even 
ask the list.

There have been times when I've searched for a solution to a problem, 
found like 10 answers, and nobody has said whether they work or not so 
you have to try all of them.
